Yeah, that's why the enemy would still be in block stun while you hold D. Sorry for not explaining that in my last post.

They can uppercut, the item throw does not hit. The point is to mix the opponent up with Kintoki-Douji still being out while using the invulnerability and movement of 22A+B. You can even see at one point in the video Yu does his DP and breaks Kintoki only to get Fatal Countered by 2C during his recovery.

I'm assuming you guys can't watch vids on Nico, then you'd see the usefulness of 22A+B for opening people who downback all day...I'll try and transcribe the stuff from the vid, but I'm going to a session later. Maybe if Fubar sees it he can do it if he wants.

It's the original PS2 version.

Hey guys. Time to get in training mode and learn these sick set-ups. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18566381

This is the only reason Capcom made it to top 8.

You may be doing the warp too late, I usually double tap D when I do the warp after the missile hits.

Stream was down, but the matches were recorded. Unfortunately, none of mine were recorded. I'll try to get on stream at the next Big2 and I'll be at the Team St1cKBuG tourney too so Teddie can get some shine. I'm glad there are so many people playing this game; even SF4 players are playing it.

Repped the Bear Army at Big 2. I tried guys, got 4th = [....Lost to SKD and Omni. 40 entries, I was surprised.

They're probably throwing an item.

GGs FE4-Player, Psyken, Kanji player who's name escapes me, and anyone else I played on ranked. Met some strong players so far.

Actually in the challenge it's 236D into C missile. In order to get it to hit you have to hold the button and detonate the missile manually (timing is right when the missile gets in front of the opponent.).

The only one's I can see being used in combo are the frozen status and rage, should be obvious how those work. Just remember what Item is coming next and if it causes an ailment keep that in mind and work it into your combo or strat. For ice just be close enough to continue your combo; for Rage your next move is unblockable, so keep that in mind.

2A/5A starters (2A for close range, 5A a little further away). 5B is your best friend for far poking/CH fishing especially if your opponent is closer to the corner. 2B is great for anti-air and can be jc'd. 2C for fatal, if it whiffs and your opponent is in the air do 2B, if they block that jc it. Kuma is about confirming hits to get either a missile combo or safe item throw; oki strength varies depending on what item you can throw, short hop A is really good for pressure if you space it correctly. Watch match vids, most of the good Kumas play similar for the most part.

What do you expect when we don't have the game in our hands right now...soon enough.

Next Level is having a special $5 venue fee all day tomorrow, everyone should come through if they have nothing else to do.

I'm a bit confused about the change for CH j.HS, anyone see it in action during the loketest?

Have you seen the box that says execution? Those are the start up frames.

I have an actual copy of VS I can bring for use if needed .....And I'll have an extra swap disk on deck if need be.

I'll play you in KOF if you want.

NJ Marco Polo & Local Battles are hosting a KOF regional tourney in May. Everyone on the east coast should come represent, we need more EC exposure. http://orochinagi.com/2012/04/the-kof-drive-cancel-regional-tournament-may-12-2012

Unfortunately I am not. Last time I spoke to Min he said he may try and conjure up a new tourney that's not skillionaire but similar. I'll let you guys know.
